He’s currently the top streamer on Twitch by subscriber count, and regularly draws high tens of thousands of concurrent live viewers. He’s “known”.

From what I know about him, I’m pretty sure he just didn’t imagine that THIS MANY people would show up. No fucking way he did this for “clout” or to “flex his power and cause a riot” (like Fox News actually suggested). I wonder why they’d say that 🤦🏿‍♂️
